The Pousada Araras Eco-Lodge, located in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil, is unique both for its environmentally friendly structure and superior guest accommodations. Built amidst South America's most prominent wildlife sanctuary, the Eco-Lodge is accessible yet secluded while offering guests a wide range of amenities and services. You will also have the possibility to take advantage of top ranked bird watching expeditions, first class forest hiking, horseback riding adventures, and 4x4 safari trips.

A stay in one of the Pousada Araras Eco-Lodge's 15 guest rooms will undoubtedly please most any South American traveler. With air conditioning standard in each room, along with screened windows, ceiling fans, and private bathroom, you'll be comfortable visiting the Lodge year-round. During the summer months, however, the pristine waters of the Lodge's crystalline outdoor swimming pool will also add to the luxury of your stay. Topped off by its highly ranked restaurant featuring a variety of local cuisine, a concierge kiosk, expansive verandas littered with hammocks and day lounges, and a unique tree-top lookout point, the Pousada Araras is truly one of a kind.

Built in a charmingly rustic style with plenty of regional accents, the Araras Eco-Lodge is most easily accessed by way of the Transpantaneira Park Road venturing from Cuiaba, the capital of the state of Mato Grosso. Drive is approximately 82 miles, or 132 Kilometers, and is drivable year-round.
